Mr. Bush raised 3 million Dollars today with a 2000 dollar a plate Dinner which most Americans can’t even think about being able to afford.
Gov. Howard Dean raised 756,000 dollars today (as of 10:30pm EST) with each contribution averaging 66.00 dollars.
Let’s do the math
3,000,000/2000 = 1,500 people
756,000/66.00 = 11,454.5 people
Don’t ever be discouraged by dollars. Dollars don’t equal votes.
We did make history. Politics will never be the same.
